Since we go to school, we are taught that no pain, no gain, it means that

if people want to be successful, they must work hard. But the truth is that not

everyone can get what they want, even they work hard so much, but if working

hard does not bring success, why should they still need to work hard. In my

opinion, working hard doesn’t mean the person can success certainly, success

needs more factors, like the time, the luck and other things. There is no doubt

that if the person does not work hard and fight for his goal, there is no way

for him to get what he wants. Some actors start their career at the very young

age, when they are also 40, they become famous suddenly, if they give up, they

can’t be waiting for their reputation. So working hard, there is much chance to

get succeed.

有时候,我觉得自己像是在大海上航行的船只,不知道何去何从,而您就像是海上的灯塔,照亮了我前行的路,指引我回家……

老师,我想对您,我感谢您,是您,在我对失去希望时到来,为我指点迷津,引导我前进。您,就是我对的引路人。

记得那是三年级的时候吧,那天,有您的课,当时您在课堂上讲的那些写作方法我根本就听不懂,就像是在听天书一般。当您布置下作业时,我当场就傻掉了,脑袋里一片空白,像是一个刚出生的婴儿,看着这个陌生的世界,对一切都没有概念,对一切都不知所措。这时候,您出现在我面前,和蔼地说:“怎么还没动笔写呢?不会写吗?”我点了点头。我以为您会骂我一顿,但您却是笑着说:“来,我教你……”那天,您教了我很多方法,而那天,也是我生命中最重要的转折点。经过您的教导,我的也由最初的及格,慢慢的提升到了优秀,现在,我的已经到了全班第一,全级第十。您还让我去参加比赛,在比赛中,我用您的方法去写,最终拿到了季军的好成绩,在拿到证书时,我已经热泪盈眶,我已经从当初那个仅仅及格蜕变成了一个极好的男孩!这一切都是老师的功劳啊!

老师,我想对你说,如果不是您的引导,我也不会这么快地蜕变,我感激您!

Gorky said: "Books are the ladder of human progress!" It is obvious how

important reading is! Reading books allows us to learn a wealth of knowledge,

but also make people progress.

Usually we should read more books, and we must read good books, such as:

science fiction, composition, fairy tales, fables, myths and other useful.

Meaningful book. However, for books like comics, it is best to read less.

"Reading through thousands of books, writing pens is like a god." I think

that reading more is good for writing. When reading, you should accumulate some

good words and good sentences, and then copy them on your notebook. Learn more

about other peoples writing skills. Content, so that when writing, the

accumulated and learned things can come in handy!

Books are our good friends; books are also our good teachers; none of us

leave anyone, book this intimate teacher, this competent teacher!

篇14:2024初中英语教师个人工作计划

全文共 2868 字

+ 加入清单

一、指导思想

目前初三的英语教学中,因种种因素,造就了相当一部分英语学习比较困难,并伴有的差生。因此对这部分学生加强心理指导,培养培养的心理素质,帮助他们尽快走出困境,成为学习的主人,就显得十分必要。学科教学是学校教育的主渠道、主阵地,学科学习是学生的主导活动,学生大量的心理困惑都产生于学习过程中,各种人格品质也在学科的学习中得到发展。英语作为语言学科,在教学中加强德育及心理方面渗透工作,坚持以人为本,坚持教育创新,坚持______,坚持内涵发展,以行为习惯养成教育为重点,以加强细节教育。

二、工作要点

对于向学生进行思想教育、品德教育、科学文化教育和心理素质教育,在本学期的教学中加强德育工作如下:

(一)有敬业精神,热爱学生。

要用自己的爱来唤起和培养学生对学习的爱,从而引伸到对生活的爱。其实,英语课堂教学不只是语言知识的学习和操练,而是一种温馨的情感交流、智慧潜能的开发,社会__交际能力的早期培养,是师生共同创造精神生活的活动。因此教师在教学中,要尊重学生的人格,建立平等、互相尊重的和谐师生关系,使学生在宽松、融洽、愉快的氛围中进行学习的同时,品德得到培养,性格得到完善。

(二)创新教育让学困生自主学习

传统的英语教学模式中,学生自使自终是被动者,即使是一些很有天赋的好学生。久而久之,也缺乏了创造力。不少学生的学习参与意识差,不愿主动思考和提出问题,更不主动解决问题。依赖于教师现成的说教答案,因此,教师必须更新教学观念,树立心的学生观和教学观。我认为,新的学生观最本质的内容就是在教学中真正能够树立合作教学的观念新的学生观念作根本的出发点就是尊重学生,在英语教学汇总充分发挥每个学生的主体作用,使他们真正成为学习的主人。

(三)渗透情感与学生建立良好的师生关系

情感具有迁移作用。亲其师,则信其道。学生对老师的情感能改善学生对所学学科的倾向性。只要师生建立起相互信赖的感情,学生对老师所提出的要求就容易接受。我们的教学活动能就比较顺利地开展。学困生并非自然固有。学困生渴求得到尊重与关心,信任与理解。教师只有用真诚的爱才能使他们感到温暖,消除自卑,树立信心,才能使他们自尊、自爱、奋发进取。我认为,对于学困生,只要我们真诚地给予关心和帮助,他们也会以爱和敬意来回报我们。他们是不会让老师失望的。

(四)赏识教育让学困生树立自信心

自尊心是一个人对自身的评价,对自身存在的价值和态度的体现。任何学生都有自尊心和荣誉感,每当自己在学习上取得点滴成绩时,总希望得到老师的表扬,学困生更是如此。差生由于羞怯心理,往往在课堂上不敢开口,因此,我对学困生从不大声呵斥,而是具体深入地分析他们之所以差的原因,然后对症下药,循循善诱,在加强辅导的同时,根据学生的发展情况进行有弹性的鼓励。实践证明:利用语言表扬、神情暗示、肢体示意等多种方法,给予学困生以的鼓励是行之有效的,能使他们对自己充满自信,树立学好英语的信心。

2022初中英语教师个人工作计划【篇六】 2022 junior high school English teacher personal work plan [Chapter 6]

一、指导思想

在本学期的英语教学中,坚持以下面的教学理念为指导:第一,切实地了解学生的真实水平,注意衔接,尽快使学生适应我的英语教学;第二,教学要面向全体学生,关注学生的情感,激发他们学习英语的兴趣;第三,以学生为主体,尊重个体差异,因材施教;第四,在新课标的指导下,倡导学生体验参与学习,完成设计目标;第五,注重过程性评价,建立能鼓励学生自主学习能力发展提高的综合评价体系。

二、学生情况分析

本届学生在英语基础方面很薄弱,由于在以前学习英语的过程中,没有很详细全面地学习音标,基本的音标和字母拼读都没有掌握好。在词汇,语法规则等方面存在很多缺漏。所以,在听、说、读、写这四项技能上,学生水平存在很大差异。

另外,学生在学习策略和情感态度方面也存在诸多需要进一步解决的问题。例如:许多学生不能明确学习英语的目的,学习缺乏主动性、自觉性;大多数同学没有养成良好的学习习惯,不能做好课前预习和课后复习工作,学习没有计划性和策略性,也不注意知识的积累和巩固。

最后,学生对新教材缺乏一定程度上的了解,还不适应新课改指导下的一些教学方法。在课堂上,习惯像以往被动地接受所传授的知识,不善于发现和总结语言规律,学习的主体性不突出。

三、教材与教辅的分析

1、内容与结构

每一单元除了关注阅读、写作、听力、视听说等语言实践活动,还关注语言知识、情感态度、文化意识和学习策略等。其中,教材加强了文化意识的提高和学生学习策略的培养,是相较于以前教材很大的不同。

2、教材的特点

首先突出学习者的发展,包括注重学习策略的培养和使用;注重提高学生的语言认知能力;为教师和学生提供个性化的选择;其次努力提高学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力。具体为:为学生提供更多的体验真实语言的机会;精心设计教学活动,使学生看到明确的目标和明确的成果;为学生发展语言运用能力提供详尽的语言支持;重视复现。

3、教材的重难点

该套教材强调学生综合语言运用能力的培养和提高,所以重点在于培养学生用英语获取信息、处理信息的能力;用英语分析问题、解决问题的能力;用英语进行思维和表达的能力。难点在于学生在情感态度和学习策略上的改变,达到用英语思维和表达的目标。

4、教学目标

⑴总体目标:激发学生学习英语的兴趣,树立自信心。在整个教学过程中,让学生有丰富的生活常识、多文化背景的积累,并形成正确人生观、价值观,有积极的情感态度和跨文化的交际能力。同时培养自主学习能力,积累学习方法。

⑵具体目标:结合学生基础知识过于薄弱的实际,在教学刚开始的阶段,注意高一和初中知识的衔接,例如复习音标和字母拼读规律,积累基础词汇、词语搭配、句型,熟悉不同单元呈现的语法规则,掌握实际用法。希望第一学期后,学生能培养学习的兴趣,养成较好的学习习惯,对基础知识有一定的掌握。

5、教学措施

⑴让学生每天积累几个单词,利用“互测及教师抽查”及时检查,保证效果并坚持下去。

⑵认真贯彻晨读制度:规定晨读内容,加强监督,保证晨读效果。

⑶实行过程性评价,调动学生积极性,通过不同方式的检测,让进步的同学体会到成就感,让落后的同学找出差距,感受压力。由此在班里形成浓厚的学习氛围,培养学生健康向上的人格和竞争意识。

⑷关注学生的情感,营造宽松、民主、和谐的教学氛围。

⑸在教学中根据目标并结合教学内容,创造性地设计贴近学生实际的教学活动,吸引和组织他们积极参与。学生通过思考、调查、讨论、交流和合作等方式,学习和使用英语,完成学习任务。

⑹经常进行教学反思,适时调整教学方法,符合学生的真实情况,利于学生的有效性学习。

从所任课班级实际情况和本身条件出发,认真进行思考和改正。多关注学科教研的发展,多多听课向有经验的老师虚心学习,取之所长,多和同事交流探讨,交换教学思想和方法,避己所短,不断进步。积极参与学科的相关课题研究,撰写论文,参加教研组,备课组的教研活动。

中秋节的传说 关于中秋节的英语作文

Mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month,it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.

There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once,scorching the planet with their heat. It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hou Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns. As his reward,the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hou Yi the Elixir of Immortality,but she warned him that he must use it wisely. Hou Yi ignored her advice and,corrupted by fame and fortune,became a tyrannical leader. Chang-Er,his beautiful wife, could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon,the Moon Fairy.

The second legend has it that during the Yuan Dynasty,an underground group led by Zhu Yuan Zang was determined to rid the country of Mongolian dominance. The moon cake was created to carry a secret message. When the cake was opened and the message read,an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the Mongolians. It happened at the time of the full moon,which,some say,explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time. Mooncakes are usually stamped with Chinese characters indicating the name of the bakery and the type of filling used. Some bakeries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalised ones to friends and family. They are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. Traditional mooncakes are made with melted lard,but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health. Mooncakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. The best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of Chinese tea,especially Jasmine or Chrysanthemum tea,which aids the digestion.

中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样,是必不可少的。圆圆的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅,馅的中央还会加上一个金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题。每年农历8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋,据说这一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圆的。

关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事,说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中,巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳,地球才被保住。为了奖励后羿,王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药,但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告,他被名利冲昏了头脑,变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观,于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药,飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥,这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。

第二个传说讲的是在元朝,朱元璋领导的起义军计划起义来摆脱蒙古族的统治。他们用月饼来传递密信。掰开月饼就可以找到里面的密信,起义军通过这种方式成功的发动了起义,赶走了元朝的统治者。这场起义发生在八月十五之时,于是中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间传开来。
